9 Michelin Star Day - Breakfast at SingleThread ***, Lunch at Quince ***, Dinner at Benu ***
As far as 3 stars we've tried. We would rate our experiences as:
SingleThread breakfast - 8/10 (10/10 for the inn room itself)
We both had each the japanese breakfast and sonoma breakfast on separate days. I preferred the sonoma breakfast and the amazing egg souffle. From the japanese breakfast the salmon and the rice were each really delicious and I would love to have them again.
Quince Lunch - 10/10
Quince was the standout, everything was so delicious, the beetroot spaghetti with caviar was one of the best dishes of the trip. The bread was great, and it was perfect to dip in all the sauces of the dishes. The cheese board was incredible as well, a lot of unique and delicious cheese flavors.
Benu Dinner - 7/10
Everything at Benu was technically excellent, but we found overselves thinking its not food we really want to eat again and again if given the chance. As a one time novelty it was good but its not the kind of food we find the most delicious so much as just technically impressive.
French Laundry Bonus Bites
On another day of the trip, we got to stop at The French Laundry as well, while we didn't do a sit down service, we had a special experience with a private group event where the restaurant was wide open from the kitchen to the wine cellar to stroll around in and have wine and hangout. Thomas Keller was there and walking around and chatting with everyone, and at various stations there was a buffet style layout of dishes coming out fresh constantly and you could grab repeats of anything you wanted. There were extras of each dish after everyone got full. Everything there was incredible, every bite was so flavorful. The salmon cone, and the ice cream desert stood out to me. The ice cream dessert was one of the most unique, pleasingly less sweet ice creams I've had. I didn't get enough pictures there but did grab a few.
